Composition and process for enhanced oil recovery

Abstract

The present invention includes a cost effective custom-designed blend of organic chemicals to stimulate oil production. The invention includes a chemical composition for use in drilling operations for oil recovery and the method of using the chemical composition. The chemical composition includes an ammonia compound, an alcohol or polar organic compound, and aqueous carrier solution. The aqueous carrier solution is of sufficient volume such that it is operable to fully dissolve the ammonia compound and alcohol (or polar organic compound) in the aqueous carrier solution. Heating of the solution may be provide by encapsulated Polonium.
